no birthday love in my mail box. however, i did get an A on that awful paper i wrote for dr. bhatt. colleen carrol who had a real topic and real sources got a b+. she was not happy with me. i have not mentioned the birthday love hanging in front of my door. it's lovely but a bit low. i must duck to enter my room. it's a reminder of how much i'm loved. my mother has not called to give me my year's horoscope. i'm shocked. maybe it wasn't good. maybe i shall be hit by a milk truck and she wants to save me the pain of knowing my fate. in the hood magazine today it said that karen bought a house in oregon. thank god oregon is so far away.
